Residential Fire Damage Restoration Services—Rapid Response & Recovery

Experienced With All Types of Fire Damage

Our ServiceMaster Restoration by Simons team has experience restoring homes after all types of fires, including:

Protein Fires

Fire damage caused by burnt food leads to unpleasant odors and smoke contamination on objects and surfaces.

Complex Fires

In this case, multiple natural and synthetic items in your house have burned. The smoke odors and residue may require special treatment to remove.

Natural Fires

Some homes catch fire because of burning trees, bushes, and shrubs nearby. These fires generate a lot of smoke that needs to be dealt with.

Furnace Malfunctions

Chicago winters can sometimes lead to problems with heating appliances. Oil-fired furnaces are one example of appliances that can cause housefires.

Regardless of the kind of fire damage you’re facing, take action quickly to minimize loss and hardship.

Essential Steps to Take Following a Fire

Once you’ve connected with the proper emergency personnel, the fire is extinguished, and there’s no threat to your safety, what’s next? Here are 5 steps to take to help protect yourself and your property:

1. Ventilate the space: If it isn’t too cold to do so, open windows and doors to help air out your house and reduce smoke odors.
2. Clean select surfaces: Laminate, chrome, porcelain, and aluminum surfaces can tarnish from soot and debris, so wipe down those fixtures.
3. Avoid touching items with bare hands: The oils from your hands can cause further damage to certain items, including walls, woodwork, and upholstery. As much as possible, refrain from touching anything with your bare hands.
4. Have appliances inspected: Electrical appliances may have been damaged during the fire, so it’s best not to use them until a professional has inspected them.
5. Reach out to our team: Our Chicago fire restoration team is here to help. Connect with us for the support you need during this difficult time.
